This is the shock of this 18th day of La Liga. At the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, leader FC Barcelona welcomes Atlético de Madrid, tied for second, for a summit meeting this Saturday at 9 p.m. A duel which could allow one of the two teams to temporarily take a four-step lead over Real Madrid. For this match, to be followed live with commentary on our site, Hansi Flick, deprived of Lamine Yamal, decided to line up a 4-3-3 with Peña in the cages. In front of him, Koundé, Cubarsi, Martinez and Baldé will form the Catalan defense while Casado, Gavi and Pedri will be associated in the midfield.
In attack, Fermin Lopez and Raphinha will support Lewandowski, alone at the forefront. Opposite, Diego Simeone’s troops, who have eleven victories in all competitions and dream of striking hard in Catalonia, present themselves in 4-4-2. Starting in goal, Oblak will be protected by a defensive quartet composed of Llorente, Gimenez, Lenglet and Galan. In midfield, Giuliano Simeone, De Paul and Barrios will accompany Gallagher. Finally, to shake the Barcelona nets, Alvarez and Griezmann – sparkling in recent weeks – will start on the front of the Madrid attack.
FC Barcelona: Peña – Koundé, Cubarsi, Martinez, Baldé – Casado, Gavi, Pedri – F. Lopez, Raphinha, Lewandowski
